Abandoned (1949) DVD5

Storm plays Paula Considine, who as the movie begins enters L.A. City Hall to inquire about her missing sister Mary at the missing persons desk. There Paula meets helpful reporter Mark Sitko (O'Keefe), who notices that Paula is being followed by a shady private detective (Raymond Burr).
Mark is quite taken with Paula, and as he gets to know her and learns more about her missing sister, who had recently given birth to a baby girl, he begins to see an interesting news story taking shape about a baby adoption racket. Mark continues to investigate, hoping to simultaneously find out what happened to Paula's sister while also coming up with a good news story and a case for his friend, the District Attorney (Chandler), to prosecute.
